Desperate Plea As Kidnapped Baby Case Stirs Churches
Betty Weinberger appeals to Protestant Catholic and Jewish leaders on Long Island and New York City to keep churches open for a kidnapping suspect to leave her 32 day old son, held for 85000 ransom. Police detain two men questioned about calls but release them, with no solid clues or contact from the kidnapper. The family offers any amount for the child's return as authorities pursue slim leads in the Peter Weinberger case.
